December 23 window – A traditional numbered Danish Christmas Calendar Candle

I am so behind on the blog and I will try to catch today. The American Charity Calendar is almost over for 2008 and it has been an extraordinary experience for me and my family. I am already thinking of next years TACC project and thinking of ways to make it better than the first year.

Today we have the picture of the traditional Danish Christmas Calendar count-down candle that is burnt down to no. 23. We have a few of those at our house too. In today’s Holiday TV episode we have Vienna create the traditional Danish woven paper heart that was invented by the great Danish fairy-tale writer and paper-cutter specialist, Hans Christian Andersen. I believe that you can still see the first one in the H.C. Andersen museum in Denmark. So take a look at the video and let me know if that does not make sense. Enjoy.
